When friends from several cities want to get together and have fun, there’s nothing better than a day spent fishing with a Cedar Key charter guide. And you get to take dinner home too. This group went out with Jim Keith and Jimbo Keith and came home with their limit. They also had to practice their “catch and release” technique with the other fish they hooked.

Bringing in this big haul of fish, from left to right, was Dean Powers of Gainesville, Andy Sparkman, in back, Lane Sparkman, Luke Sparkman, all of Gainesville, Michael Beck of Chiefland, and Thom Holland, Tallahassee.

The remains of a cleaned fish won’t be able to hit the water before being snatched up by a hungry bird.

The pelicans’ aerial spotters were right, there would be fish cleaned at the dock and dinner for the birds with the fastest beak.
